Project F is a kinaesthetic engagement with feminism, felt via a particular focus on female figures from 12th century until now. It uses the parallel stories and music from historic and modern day trailblazing women – Hildegard von Bingen (b. 1102) and Princess Nokia (b. 1992) – as provocations to explore notions of feminist utopia, in choreographic terms.
Saint Hildegard Von Bingen was a great mystic, writer, naturalist scientist, doctor, polymath and music composer, attracting countless disciples though her detailed visions, while Princess Nokia is a fiercely independent female rapper and mystic with radical intersectional feminist agenda and a burgeoning following – a kind of contemporary urban saint. Though 1,000 years apart, their enlightened and visionary thinking provides a springboard to explore and investigate the powers that incite us to project ourselves into a feminist Utopian future.
Project F is created with an all-female team (choreographer, performers, composer, designers, producer, dramaturg etc.) to illuminate outstanding achievements by Melbournian women. The team are diverse in age and background, yet all with feminist concerns and a strong aspiration to present positive and powerful female role models for broad audiences.
